3D printers are becoming more popular as the technology advances. They can create objects of almost any shape or geometry out of materials like plastic, metal, and glass. A new faster 3D printing method called CLIP can print objects up to 100 times faster than existing printers. 3D printers have applications in industries like manufacturing, fashion, and food as well as in medicine for printing tissues and organs. While the technology offers advantages like increased innovation and customization, survey respondents noted limitations like small sizes and limited material options as reasons for not being interested in purchasing a 3D printer themselves. Most see 3D printers becoming more widely used in the future but not very important to their daily lives currently.
